This case addresses the challenge of developing a
novel educational strategy that promotes hard and soft skills
using different types of emerging technologies. We achieved this
with a horizontal collaborative learning strategy, between universities,
and vertical collaborative learning, between universities
and schools, organized by the MannaTeam network. In addition
to sharing experiences, knowledge, laboratories and materials
among network partners, we popularized our vision of education
for the 21st century – Education 5.0, and invested in a project of
female empowerment, showing society the reasons and impacts
of the gender gap in technological areas. The success of our
contemporary vision of education and the efforts of MannaTeam
motivate us to continue. There is much to be done to stimulate
innovation in education and the broad understanding that ability
has no gender.
